1) My main objective of this piece was to successfully recreate this controller by making it look almost identical to the original image.
2) The tools I used to create this piece were the rounded rectangle path tool, square path tool, and ellipse tool. I also "filled" each of the paths and used the text tool, paint tool, and bevel and emboss layer style along with stroke, inner shadow, and inner glow. The gradient tool as also used to add some of the highlights.
3) Some of the challenges I faced during this project were making the buttons look like the ones in the image. I did not want to stray far from the original and making them look real and shiny was one my my biggest struggles.
4) I believe I definitely rendered and edited my version of the image to the best of my ability because I surprised myself with the way my version looks almost identical, if not better than the original image since my image is high quality ans does not have blurry or fuzzy parts.
